of full force and effect. These are mere
hints, Mr. Editor, upon which the people
may think.
There is much caution and deliberation
requisite. Some of the Northern radicals
will endeavor to force negro equality
upon us, and many' things will be con
nived at necessarily by our people. A
bill has already passed the Seuate which
admits thc testimony of freedmcn in
cases where they are concerned or are
parties.
I think the Penitentiary will be abol
ished, and consequently our Penal Code
will be greatly modified to meet the wants
of the country. Severe laws and speedy
punishment will work for the good of all.
The negro must be taught his real posi
tion in society, and the white man must
make no encroachments upon his rights
and privileges.

The status of the State will rule in all
these things with our authorities at
Washington. They are determined we

any privileges as a State. So I cannot

Thc true theory is that all pretended j
acts of secession from the beginning were ;
null and void.
States cannot commit treason or screen !
the individual citizen who tnay have com- J
mitted treason. The States attempting {
to secede have placed themselves in a
condition where thei/ functions are sus
pended but not destroyed If any State
neglects or refuses to perform its offices,
there is the more need that thc general
government should maintain its authority,
and as soon as practicable each State re
sume the exercise of all its Amotions.
On tl.is principle he has acted, gradual
ly and equally, and by almost impossible
steps sought to restore the righful energy
of the general government and the States.
To that end Provisional Governors were

AYR on hand, and are constantly
stronger will enjoining postponement.
The election held on the 15th ult., was
intended, not to keep in smooth, uninter
rupted movement the machinery of gov
ernment, but to set it again in operation
after a suspension entirely novel in the
history of our State. Thc proceedings
adopted in, and ordered by the Conven
tion of our people, and the meeting at
this time and place of thc legislators and
governor elect, were supposed to meet the
approbation of the Federal Government,
by whose authority, in the exercise of the
war power, that suspension was made.—
So far as regards the General Assembly,
the supposition was apparently well foun
ded. They have met and organized with
out let or hindrance ; and the Provisional
Governor—the accredited organ of the
President of the United States has invited
their action as a legislative body, upon
several distinct subjects. The Governor
elect has been less fortunate. On the
morning of the meeting of the General
Assembly, and before that meeting, he
received from his Excellency, thc Pro
visional Governor, an official contmntii-
cation in the words following:
“ Executive Office, )
Jli'ledgevillc, Dee. 4, 1865 j
" lion. C. J. Jenkins .*
“ Dear Sir—In tlic discharge of an
official duty, 1 beg leave to inform you
that I have been directed by the Presi
dent of the United States to continue to
act as Previsional Governor of Georgia
until relieved and my successor recogniz
ed by thc government.
“ Your obedient aerTant,
J. Johnson,
Provisional Governor of Georgia.
I do not communicate this official note
to the General Assembly in any querei-
no official act—of questionable propriety,
because the oath of office, which is thc
essence of thc inaugural ceremony, binds
the officer from the moment it is taken,
to thc discharge of his duties ; as well on
that day as on the last one of the term,
or any intervening one. Where, then,
would-be the propriety of taking such an
oath with the full knowledge that the
service to which it binds the affiant; is
indefinitely postponed ? I feel less hes
itation in adopting the course I propose
because it. will-not only (as already shown)
occasion no detriment to the public ser
vice, but will subject the members of the
General Assembly to no personal incon
venience. I have supposed that even in
the event of the entird organization of
our Government, at this time, it would
be imposible for them to conclude their
arduous labors, before the occurence of
the Christmas holidays; and that the cir
cumstances of the eountry will render it
desirable to each and all of them, to be at
home during that time and in the early
days of January. Hence, I conclude,
that in the present defective organization
of the State Government and in hope of
a decided improvement in our status with
in a month or six weeks, it will probably
be their pleasure, to take a recess until
j some day about the middle of January
next. By the 56th section of the Code,
it is provided that the inauguration shall
take place during thc first week of the
Session unless “ prevented by Providen
tial cause.” Such prevention I regard as
now existing. I therefore designate the
16:h January next, as the day on which
I will meet thc Senate aitd House of Rep
resentatives, in joint session, for that pur
pose, provided, that at that time, the
Government of the United States shall
have signified a willingness to recognize-
ous or complaining spirit. Far from it,! me, as the Governor of Georgia. I but

This amendment being adopted, it
would remain for the States to resume

restoration.
The President says he has no authority
to make freednten electors. That re
mains with the people of the States.—
They can decide whether it is to be adop
ted at once or introduced gradually, with
the condition, however, that good faith
requires security of freed men in their lib
erty, property, right to labor, and to claim
just teturn for their labor.
